Jackson sucks.

Like a fat kid with his mouth to a gumball machine......

Hi ho, specialist the nbs here, finally back in scenic Virginia. More to follow, but for now? Ft. Jackson should be subjected to the IG and then burned to the ground. With a spoon. ("Why a spoon? Because it'll hurt more you twit.....")

I did not know there was even a Fort Jackson! Guess it is the pits if it is that bad!

Holy crap! X-X-SPC NBS! GOod to hear from you. Life at Fort Jackson did suck. Spent two weeks there at reception before being shipped off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma by bus to basic. Yikes.
Hang in there and keep the faith. This too shall pass!

Hehe. Adrian did his Basic at Ft. Jackson, and he hates that place.

Unless it doesn't. If it doesn't, try angling for some sweet, sweet casual duties. Maybe the gym. It's being good to SSG Smiley while she waits her retirement paperwork...

It is in SC so it figures to suck. Although the area south of Charleston is really nice.

This is his AIT right? Shouldn't he be in a careerist status and not with the "newbies"?

Note to everybody. This was already over when I posted it. Just went there to inprocess. Which they royally screwed up. Naturally. It took a day, and I was there a week. In fact they only thing I didn't have to get fixed later was the clothing issue. (although they did forget the rigger belt)

After the one day of inprocessing, it was a week of sit in the dayroom and watch cnn. Or, sit in the dayroom and watch cnn. Or sit in the dayroom and watch cnn. Which by the way repeats every 15 minutes. Do not go outside, do not go upstairs, do not leave the room, do not read, do not change the channel, do not fall asleep.

The monotony was only broken by the occasional rambling lecture on why we are nasty filthy people because of the actions of 5 of the 120 people that left two weeks prior. Or possibly to make sure the floors are shined and all beds have tidy hospital corners. I did get to go rake leaves once.

After a week I was going nuts. They had people that were literally held over there for years. One girl for two and a half. One guy that left about the same time I did had been there for five months. Because they failed to take two seconds to notate in the computer that he'd got his clothing issue. After asking him every day. By that point, I'd have shot myself. If of course I'd been allowed out of the dayroom. There's more, but it's to fun to put in one comment.

I am long gone from there, and was when I posted this, thank God. This was just a quick update and a double one finger salute to the HHC 120th AG at Ft. Jackson.
